This January 2026, I joined the Indiana State University women’s soccer team for my final year of eligibility while completing a graduate certificate in Leadership Communication. Along with competing on the field, I gained valuable hands-on experience working closely with our current Graduate Assistant. I learned how to create detailed itineraries, place food orders for home and away games, and help manage travel logistics. I also strengthened my skills in Excel, Word, and overall administrative planning—tools that helped prepare me for a future role in operations.
